The Knights is a highly anticipated new crime series coming to Netflix on March 7, 2024. The series comes from well-known director and screenwriter Guy Ritchie (Snatch, Sherlock Holmes), and is inspired by his 2019 action film of the same name.
News of the series came earlier this year along with a trailer, but Netflix has whetted our appetites even more this week with a clever and genuinely funny new trailer that's like a bingo card of everything you'd expect to see in a caper. Guy Ritchie's criminal. . Ray Winstone and Vinnie Jones? Check. Many curses? Absolutely. A lineup of all kinds of nasty gangsters? Sure.
We don't know the whole story of The Knights At the moment, it's only inspired by the 2019 film, not based on it, but the trailer reveals a significant amount of the plot. He looks like Eddie Halstead played by Theo James (The white lotus) and his family will try to take control of his large property, but they will have to face the criminal bosses who own the marijuana empire and a lot of characters from the British criminal underworld who also want a piece of the action.
The Knights will debut on Netflix on March 7 with eight episodes. But that's still more than a week away. So what will fill that gangster-sized void until then?
If you like the look of The Gentlemen but don't want to wait to see it, some obvious movies to pass the time until it lands would be the big hits from Guy Ritchie's back catalogue, such as Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. . But be careful, not all of his films are as strong as these classics.
If you just want to know what's worth streaming on Netflix before The Gentlemen arrives, then you're in luck. Not only is there a great selection of movies on Netflix, but there are also several highly acclaimed crime movies.
The murderer
First of all, we recommend The murderer from award-winning director David Fincher (Fight Club, Gone Girl, The Social Network). Based on the French comic series of the same name, it follows the story of an assassin (played by Michael Fassbender) who carries out his job with meticulous planning. But one day, things don't go as planned and he embarks on a global quest for revenge.
Emily the criminal
Once you've seen Fassbender do what he does best (playing a soulless monster), try Emily the criminal. This 2022 film stars Aubrey Plaza (Parks and recreation) as Emily Benetto, a woman who gets caught up in a credit card scam as a way to get out of debt, but things take a dark turn when she unknowingly finds herself drawn into the criminal underworld of Los Angeles.
Good time
Finally, currently you can also stream Good time on Netflix. This police thriller stars Robert Pattinson as Constantine or Connie Nikas, a criminal who tries to free his brother from police custody. Good time was highly praised when it was first released, not only for Pattinson's impressive performance, but also for the way this film added new depth to the crime genre.
